A multilocular scalp lesion was noticed at birth in a female infant. There was no underlying skull defect.

Heterotopic brain tissue is a rare developmental abnormality, which usually has no effect on neurological development. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of scalp lesions in neonates.

Brain Abscess l: Introduction

A brain abscess is a focal, intracerebral infection characterized by a localized collection of pus within the brain parenchyma, resulting from microbial invasion and the body’s inflammatory response. It progresses through stages: early and late cerebritis, followed by early and late capsule formation, reflecting tissue destruction, immune response, and eventual encapsulation.Etiology and PathogenesisCausative organisms vary with source and host factors, often involving polymicrobial infections,...
